Q: WHY DO THINK THIRD ROCK IS POPULAR?
JOEY: Will it's a hillarious show, first of all. It's pbservational humor, about human nature. It's Pretty facsinating, aliens learning what it's like to be human, and from that, figuring out what humanity is.
Q: WHY DID YOU WANT TO BE IN THE SHOW?
JOEY: I've been in show biz since the age of six, and I've never played any role besides that of a kid before. On 3rd Rock, I got the chance to play an alien and and an old man-since on his planet he's the oldest one-and a kid. It's so dif- ferent. It's the kind of role you hope for.
